Back to the Basics — But This Time, I’m Building for Real

Hey WA fam 👋

It’s been a while — some of you might know me, others probably don’t. So here’s the short story:

I’m Jared Talbot. I joined WA in April 2020, right in the middle of COVID, hoping to carve out a freedom-based income stream while working a full-time job.

I learned the basics of WordPress, poured my late nights into building www.growmybitcoin.co.za and created a few other sites along the way. But if I’m honest… I never finished the training. Life got busy. I got distracted. And eventually, things just kind of… paused.

But here’s the thing:
That dream never went away.
If anything, it’s stronger than ever.

🔄 So What’s Happening Now?

I’m back — and this time with a plan, clarity, and purpose.

✅ I’m completing all the WA modules
✅ I’m getting active in the community again
✅ I’m rebuilding my brand from scratch
✅ And I’m combining my skills in crypto, AI, and tech support into something practical

But more than that — I’m here to tell you something real:

The website I built on WA and the skills I learned here literally carried my family through riots, job uncertainty, and relocation... all the way from South Africa to Ireland.
This platform worked — even when I wasn’t perfect with it.

🧰 My New Direction

Here’s what I’m working on now:

👉 New websites that help people understand and safely use crypto, tech, and AI
👉 A second site, Ascend Personal Growth, focused on health, mindset, and personal transformation
👉 Local tech support services — data recovery, laptop setup, virus protection, and basic IT rescue
👉 Helping small Irish businesses like plumbers and mechanics build better websites and attract more clients
👉 Teaching people how to use AI tools, build websites, and own their online space
👉 Offering real value — tutorials, setup services, and eventually digital products and courses

Whether someone wants to:

• Learn how to offramp crypto
• Keep their family laptop safe
• Build a proper online presence for their local trade
• Or finally understand how to back up their data...

I'm going to help them — and maybe help them discover something bigger along the way.

💬 Why I’m Posting This

Because I want to connect again.

I’m starting fresh — but I’m not starting from zero.

If you’re building your first site, feeling stuck, or wondering whether it’s worth it... keep going.

The training here is solid.
The people here are solid.
And honestly — the time will pass anyway.
Might as well build something real.

Let’s grow.
